The Deafy Glade trail up to Summit Trail is really a nice route. More than 10 cars at the small parking area and via the other routes there were a lot of people up there. Clouds made it so the views weren't grand but very nice anyways.

Made the climb with my girlfriend. About 14 miles from the Deafy Glade trailhead and back. Hike was lovely; well-maintained trail which we had all to ourselves. Stood on both Lake and Colusa cohp's for good measure. We would've stayed longer but both of us were feeling a bit woozy from the altitude (3400 ft to 7056 ft in just a few hours was a bit jarring for the body). Was able to see all the regional landmarks, though both Mt. Shasta & Mt. Lassen were obscured by smog (multiple fires in the area this weekend). Visibility was spectacular to the south, however, and was able to see Mt. Diablo way out in Marin County.

My goal is to climb all the cohp's by 40. I'm 28 now. Bagging two in one weekend ain't bad.

Camped two nights at West Crockett campground. Climbed Crockett Peak day 1, then both Snow Mountain peaks Day 2. It was a total of 16 miles with a side excursion to the falls to wash off the dust and sweat. Ran into rattler near the trail down to the falls, slithered off into a hole NEXT to the trail. Falls gorgeous. Isolated campground, saw nobody else the entire day. Crockett peak is a 1200' climb in less than 1 mile right from the campground.

Not sure the exact year but had always wondered about that peaky thing on the horizon that you see driving north from the day -- did it as an outing once while staying at Harbin Hot Springs -- had the whole peak to myself.

A couple of thoughts for others:
1> The trailhead is only 1.8 miles from M10, not 1.7mi then another 1.8
The trailhead isnt visible from the road, but next to the restroom is a trail which leads down to the information post
2> About 1.5miles in, there is a sign which is faded and unclear which way to the summit. The Gary Suttle lead me to think I should go right. You should go straight. Lost about 25 minutes there.

First summit in over a year. Nice hike on Sunday with my son Jackson. We made it to the saddle then decided to summit the west peak. Because in the words of my 7 year old son "that one has the most snow dad"! Think I'll go back in fall or winter for the east peak.

Did it as an enjoyable two day trip from Summit Springs. Really enjoyed the outing but the drive was sooo long. Tried to come in from 101, but being in Camry and a deepish stream crossing convinced us to take a long detour and come in from the east. Will always wonder if we'd have made it or if it would have been a total disaster.

At Fouts Camp Junction the map shows a 4 way but I only saw 2 additional ways to go. Totally messed up and went right. Followed trails (old and new) going all over the mountain until finally I realized what happened and I just headed my own way to the top. Kept running into more trails not on the map as well. Made it but only 1 mile visibility all day due to fires.http://www.willhiteweb.com/california_climbing/north_coast_range/snow_mountain_208.htm

No cars, no people, no deer, no lizards, no snakes, no views. A decidedly uneventful hike without any redeeming qualities other than the exercise and to say I've been to the Colusa/Lake county highpoint. A heckuva lot of driving. Went to Brokeoff in the late afternoon. Trip Report

A very enjoyable hike. Just wish the air was a lttle cleaner for the views. I saw only 4 backpackers headed out so I had the summit all to myself. In fact the entire area as far as humans go, but I did see zillions of lizards. No rattlesnakes though. On my drive out I saw quite a few vehicles with rifles as the next day was the opening of deer season in this zone. The picture is on the west summit. I hit both just to make sure I got the county highpoint.
